Fights That Should Happen, Each Division.
Heavyweight- Wlad vs. Valuev
This fight should have already happened. Even Wlad vs. Chagaev. Vitali and Haye can wait imo, Wlad and Valuev have been on the scene longer holding belts simultaneously.
Cruiserweight- Cunningham vs. Jones II
Many people felt Jones one their first encounter. Now they are both Titleholders. Make it happen.
Lt. Heavyweight- Dawson vs. Calzaghe
No reason for this not to happen. Both undefeated, risky fight for both, but thats what boxing is about.
Super Middleweight- Kessler vs. Bute
Both titleholders, interesting fight that will help sort out the division
Taylor against either of the two is an ok fight as well.
Middleweight-Pavlik vs. Abraham
Again, no explaination needed. And since Sturm wants no part of Abraham, its there to be made.
Light Middleweight- Forrest vs. Martinez
Phillips is fighting Williams, so the winner could face off with either of the two above instead of the facing each other imo. Martinez has been undefeated for almost 9 years and has held so manyversions of the lt. middleweight title ive lost count. Give the man a title shot.
Welterweight- This division has been making the right fights, no complaints here.
Light Welterweight- Wouldnt mind seeing the winner of Holt-Torres III vs. Ricky Hatton. Timothy Bradley vs. any of them. But again good fights are being made in this division
Im not going below this weight because the lighter weights seem to be the only ones who handle their business and make the best fights.

Nah, Wlad will want Vitali to fight Valuev. That way there is a relatively even balance of titles between the two brothers. And their mummy will be real proud. :(
Re: Fights That Should Happen, Each Division.
HW - Vitali - Wlad. I know it will never happen, but what could be better than a HW unification fight between the two best in the division, to say nothing about the storyline which would draw a ton of interest from mediums which have largely ignored boxing for a long time.
HW - Wlad - Haye. While I think Wlad would handle Haye, it's the most compelling match-up for Wlad atm. Vitali would just destroy Haye, so I'm not as interested in that one.
CW - Honestly, I don't know enought about the division. I could boxrec together a fight, but that would be lame.
LHW - Dawson - Calzaghe. Great fight, I'd love to see it.
SMW - Kessler - Taylor; Andrade - Taylor; Bute - Andrade II; Kessler - Bute; Bute - Taylor; Carl Froch - a two-ton truck going 80km/h. I'd honestly most like to see Kessler - Bute, but I feel any of these fights would be compelling.
MW - Pavlik - Abraham. The most important fight in the division, needs no explanation.
LMW - Santos - Williams; Kirkland - Angulo; Forrest - Martinez; Williams - Martinez; Martinez - Drizwhatever; Martinez - Santos;. Martinez really impressed me in his last fight, lets see if he's for real. Kirland - Angulo would be a bloodbath. Santos needs to mentioned as well, great underrated fighter and I think he's give Williams all he could handle (plus, they both hold wins over Marg).
WW - Williams - Margartio II (if Williams comes back down); Clottey - Cotto; Clottey - Margarito II; Clottey - anyone; Berto - Mosley. None of these need any explaination, I'd also love to see Margarito - ODH.
LWW - Hatton - Bradley; Hatton - Torres/Holt. I know neither will ever happen though.
LW - JMM - Nate Campbell; Campbell - Casa; Campbell - Katsidis; Campbell - Pac; JMM - Juan Diaz; Diaz - Casa.
Jr.LW - Soto - Valero
FW - Again, don't know enough about the division.
Jr.FW - Any combination of Rafa, Vazquez, Caballero, JML; Molitor - DeLeon/Gonzalez
Jr. Bantam - Vic - Montiel.
After that, I don't know enough about the other divisions.
Re: Fights That Should Happen, Each Division.
My list from yesterday.
Heavyweight = David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko
Cruiserweight = Tomasz Adamek vs Steve Cunningham
Light Heavyweight = Chad Dawson vs Joe Calzaghe
Super Middleweight = Mikkel Kessler vs Jermain Taylor
Middleweight = Arthur Abraham vs Kelly Pavlik
Jr Middleweight = Vernon Forrest vs Paul Williams
Welterweight = Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Shane Mosley/Antonio Margarito
Jr Welterweight = Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao
Lightweight = Juan Manuel Marquez vs Nate Campbell
Super Featherweight = Nicky Cook vs Humberto Soto
Featherweight = Chris John vs Steve Luevano
Super Bantamweight = Juan Manuel Lopez vs Israel Vasquez
Bantamweight = Gerry Penalosa vs Hozmui Hasagaw or Abner Mares
Super Flyweight = Vic Darchinyan vs Jorge Acre
Flyweight = Fernando Montiel vs Nonito Donaire
Jr Flyweight = Ivan Calderon vs Roman Gonzalez
Minimumweight = No idea i know Roman Gonzalez is a Minimumweight, so him against any of the title holders is interesting, but it would be awesome if he could move up in weight and fight Ivan Calderon.
KillerSheep reminded me yesterday that Steve Cunningham vs Tomasz Adamek is indeed happening, but i'll just leave it on there.
